I thought jeans, maybe, pants of some sort since they were robbing banks and making quick getaways. But Warren [Beatty] and Arthur wanted to put her in dresses, great costumes that would give her style. They had decided to give Theadora Van Runkle, who was a young sketch artist with a great eye, a shot at designing the costumes.

She was smart, funny, a very independent spirit, and a genius when it came to clothing design.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8212; Faye Dunaway. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0671675265\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=fashhistandwo-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=0671675265\"><em>Looking for Gatsby: My Life<\/em><\/a>.
